i cannot fucking stand the beatles, tried to appreciate them but they were just lucky to have hit the airwaves at the moment they did. it's fundamentally chick music, songwriting and heavy vocals over pretty average, sappy playing. take revolution, sappy guitar and some disortion with paul's cooing little voice singing of protest. of course EVERYONE was into half-understanding protests of something at that point, but lyrically it's milquetoast as fuck and you can't be that pissed at anything if the vocals sound like some gilbert and sullivan flamer singing. that angry and passionate for vocals.
i mean, they give me a headache, but compare zach de la rocha being apprised of something and clearly pissed to the beatle's manager saying "hey boys, don't you think a vague song of displeasure with the status quo would make a killer single?"
